Grammar
To vs As to
(1) "The stadium was designed in such a way as to rule out hooliganism."
(2) "The stadium was designed in such a way to rule out hooliganism."
My question is whether the second sentence is also grammatically acceptable. In the textbook is mentioned just the one right answer which was supposed to be the first one. I was wondering why there isn't also mentioned the second sentence.
Thanks a lot.
