Had tickets for row 12 last season vs. the Phoenix Coyotes. Not the sexiest possible opponent but the tickets were extra cheap so I jumped all over it and I was impressed. If you watch the Canucks with a lot of regularity, you shouldn't have any trouble knowing which player is which until they substitute out. The stairs were indeed at a steep incline as I would imagine they are at all NHL arenas but that comes with the territory. There are handrails but if you're afraid of heights, 302 probably isn't the place for you.
To give you an idea what the view of the ice is like from section 302, here is a Youtube video shot from there during warmups at a Canucks/Dallas Stars game at Rogers arena.
