 Getting
on the right track: From Nagoya Station, take the
Chuo Main Line and get off four stops later at Ozone.
From there, follow the map on this page. Nagoya Dome is
about a fifteen minute walk from Ozone Station. 
Incidentally,
two new subway stations near Nagoya Dome are currently
under construction.
Surrounding
area: Don't plan on staying around Ozone after the
game. You won't find anything of particular interest in
the surrounding area, unless you consider smokestacks and
industrial parks interesting.

Because
of high prices at the dome, you may wish to pick up
snacks elsewhere before the game. While there are three
convenience stores near the dome (see map), the best
place to pick up fast food is at Nagoya Station. There is
a Subway Sandwiches, McDonalds, and several other junk
food establishments nearby.
Unfortunately,
Nagoya Dome has a policy forbidding fans from bringing
food and beverages with them to a game. Bags are
searched, albeit with the least possible effort. If you
plan on smuggling your snacks, bury them at the bottom of
your backpack.
Buying
tickets: Tickets for Nagoya Dome, among the most
expensive in Japan, are for sale at the booth near the
front of the ballpark. The cheap seats run 1,600 yen,
while the best ones (aside from luxury seats) cost
between 4,500 and 5,500 yen. Because of the dome's
novelty, Chunichi games sell out fast. It's a good idea
to either get tickets well before the day of the game.
Otherwise, you'll likely have to buy them from the
scalpers around the front of the ballpark who usually
sell 5,500 tickets for twice their value and cheap seats
(listed at 1,500 yen) for 7,000 yen.
