Designing stuff is entering the realm of the unknown. You wonder, is it going to work.

The challenge is to create something with staying power. That's the real challenge to me.

I certainly got enough bang for my buck.

I've had some good fortune in this building. It's always challenging. The two sides (upstairs and downstairs) play differently. There's a lot of obstacles here and a lot of things that keep you on your toes. But the fans here are great and I think it's our most prestigious tournament.
