Re-order Paragraphs
Arrange the sentences into the correct order.
Put the sentences in the correct order:
- The trade-off is cost, since the steel and engineering required for a cantilevered roof are considerably more expensive than a conventional column-supported design.
- That improvement gave every seat in the stadium an unobstructed view of the field for the first time, regardless of how far back or how high up a spectator was sitting.
- This engineering technique relies on counterweights and internal steel trusses anchored deep in the stadium's outer structure to bear the roof's full weight without a second point of support.
- Architects eventually solved this with cantilevered roofs, structures that extend outward from a single supporting point without needing columns underneath.
- Early stadium designers faced a persistent problem: any roof large enough to shelter spectators from rain needed support columns, and those columns blocked the view for fans seated behind them.
