DUCKS

However, should Minnesota take the series, Pringle will provide lunch for Kelly and his guests courtesy of CKE Restaurants and Hardees, an eight-foot Palm Tree from Visser's Florists, a bottle of California wine from The Catch restaurant, a crystal statue of Sleeping Beauty's castle and a box of Anaheim chili peppers from Gigante grocery store. Both mayors have also agreed to don the winning team's jersey for the day and issue a proclamation congratulating the winning city, should their team lose. Many fans simultaneously stood in line and dialed Ticketmaster on their cell phones to try to secure the coveted tickets. Karen Pedersen, 59, and son-in-law Roger Hicks, 33, arrived at 6:45 a.m. armed with lawn chairs and books. "I actually think in Orange County we're very polite fans," said Pedersen, of Huntington Beach. All three home games sold out in three hours, with a majority of the sales made online, according to Ducks publicity director Charles Harris. Jeff White, 32, of Tustin took half a day off work and arrived with a lawn chair and a laptop. White proposed to his wife, Lora, at a Ducks game two years ago. He waited until the end of the game to make sure he popped the question on a winning night, though he says he's not superstitious. Still, White said, he follows one ritual for Ducks games: He always wears the same white turtleneck, a pair of jeans and his tan socks. "The one game when I learned my lesson was when I wore the black socks," he said.
