| Springfield, MO patrons now have three options to make dining, entertainment and shopping downtown more attractive: free parking, a free cab ride or group savings. There's a caveat but it is no problem for those accustomed to making plans ahead. These free options are included in pre-paid packages with a price tag of either $50, $100 or $200.
Called "Night on the Town" the program devised by the Urban Districts Alliance (UDA) in cooperation with a group of 16 restaurants, five retailers and five entertainment venues offers the following benefits:
- $50 package: $50 in "Night on the Town Dollars," buy one/get one free voucher at Mudhouse, and a voucher for free parking for couples or families in the Great Southern Bank lot at South Ave. and Elm St.
- $100 package: $100 in "Night on the Town Dollars," free cab ride for up to four people from a home or hotel within Springfield city limits to downtown and back
- $200 package: $230 in "Night on the Town Dollars," priority dinner reservations at participating restaurants
“In listening to our customers, we felt these programs could address three areas: free parking for couples and families driving downtown, a free cab ride from their home or hotel for up to four people for those desiring alternative transportation and a 15% bonus for groups that want to dine at one of our outstanding restaurants,” said Rusty Worley, UDA executive director.
