“Any top professional will tell you they’re not afraid to go into big atmospheres like that, because that’s why you work so hard, you want to get the highest level,” Howard said, “You can play in front of 10,000 if you want, but if you want to get to where it really counts, it going to be hostile. That’s part of the whole test that’s going to present itself to us.”

As far as cocky or complacent, no. We know we still have a lot of work to do, and it’s not easy, whoever you’re playing.”
