I called the hotel last week to ask about this as I wanted to extend my reservation another day and the website wouldn't let me. I was told to call back a 2-3 months prior to DCS and they would be able to open up more rooms at the group price likely at that time.
Sounds like they don't want to book up the hotel at a discounted price before people wanting to pay full price have a shot at it.

I was in Springfield on Saturday, but unfortunately it was Route 66 Fest and the weather was great and the crowds were crazy big,
which meant I was not able to get any in-person "face-time" at the PAL Hotel while I was there.
However, on a related note, I had members of the DeLorean Midwest Connection club and the Mid-States Club in attendance, to help
with a "preview" of the new LED lighting system in the PCCC. 10 DeLoreans total, with 8 stainless and 2 painted (1 Red, 1 Black).
Although photos never tell the whole story, the imperfections on the stainless cars were less apparent as we dialed up the intensity.
In the group's opinion, the cars looked better as the lights got brighter. Lower intensity lighting was similar to fluorescent lighting.

Hi Rich-
Curious if there's any new news on the hotel front. Just tried booking and the only option available is a suite at $495/night. Is it looking like we'll have to wait until 2-3 months prior as David mentioned?

Hi Mike,
Not much I can check on this late, but I can check later this morning or afternoon.
I would need to know more of the specifics of the request, such as if you are trying
to book the convention days plus an extra day or two on either side of convention.
Feel free to send a PM if you do not want to post specifics here and I will see if I can
inquire about the specifics or ask Tony to inquire with our convention contact.
Thanks,
Rich W.
Registered, looks like they added room availability-
I plan to attend the DCS for the first time this year, and my family intends to pay for my trip and lodging as my birthday gift.
I want to help them by having the process go as smooth as possible. What should I do?
