On this day in 1928, the Fisher Theater opened in Detroit, later remodeled for a more intimate experience. In 1975, Mariner Church tolled its bells 29 times for the crew lost on the S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald, a tradition lasting until 2006. Additionally, in 2011, Michigan State became the first Big Ten team to play on an aircraft carrier, honoring veterans in a game against the University of North Carolina aboard the USS Carl Vinson.
