Florence Center terminates contract with South Carolina Ravens, canceling all arena football games over failure to meet venue agreement terms

Florence, South Carolina – The Florence Center has formally cancelled its contract with the South Carolina Ravens in what appears to be a significant shake-up for arena football fans. The Ravens’ failure to fulfill the terms specified in their venue contract caused the Use License Agreement to be terminated.

This termination, effective immediately, means all planned South Carolina Ravens games at the Florence Center Arena are canceled, Florence Center confirmed in a letter sent to the Florence News Journal. Fans who had been eagerly anticipating these games now have to change their plans. Automatic refunds will go to those who bought tickets via Ticketmaster. Ticket holders who bought their tickets via different channels, though, are advised to request refunds straight from the point of purchase.
