1. I certainly wouldn't get 3rd level if this is your first game and you want to have "good" seats. They are ok if you want to go cheap but for 10-20 more per ticket you can get 2nd deck tix.
I'd go for Greens or Orange section tix. They run about $50-75 per ticket + ticketmaster fees. CP is probably a good option to buy because you can get them for face value without any Ticketmaster fees. See the Buy/Sell forum under ticket exchange.
2. LRT is the way to go. You will have to wait a little at the end of the game and get stuffed on the train but it is still quicker than parking at the dome in some cases.
3. Flames Central is ok. Or you can go to the dome then head right up 17th ave for about 6 blocks and check out the Red Mile. Melrose is usually the preferred place.
