   SBA COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION ANNOUNCES $300 MILLION FINANCING COMMITMENT

BOCA RATON, FLORIDA, April 26, 2001 (NASDAQ: SBAC) - SBA Communications

"We are very pleased with SBA's continued ability to access capital,
particularly during these difficult times in the capital markets," stated
Jeffrey A. Stoops, SBA's President. "The proceeds from the senior credit
facility, together with our other resources, are expected to fund our current
capital expenditure plans through the end of 2002. We believe there will be a
number of attractive investment opportunities which will arise in this capital
markets environment, and the new facility will provide us with plenty of
flexibility and resources should we choose to pursue those opportunities."
