Item 2            Other Events

                  SBA Communications Corporation announced today that it has
                  filed a registration statement with the Securities and
                  Exchange Commission to register $100.0 million of its shares
                  of Class A Common Stock that will be offered by SBA. The
                  registration statement also covers up to 15% of additional
                  shares that may be offered by certain shareholders to cover
                  any over-allotments.

                  Net proceeds from the offering will be used by the Company to
                  repay revolving credit borrowings under its senior credit
                  facility, to finance the construction and acquisition of
                  towers or related businesses and for general working capital
                  purposes. The Company will not receive the proceeds from any
                  sale of shares by the selling shareholders.

                  The offering is underwritten by Lehman Brothers, Deutsche Banc
                  Alex.Brown and Raymond James & Associates, Inc.

                  This registration statement has been filed with the Securities
                  and Exchange Commission but has not yet become effective.
                  These securities may not be sold nor may offers to buy be
                  accepted prior to the time the registration statement becomes
                  effective. This communication shall not constitute an offer to
                  sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be
                  any sale of these securities in any state in which such offer,
                  solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration
                  or qualification under the securities laws of such state.

                  Copies of a preliminary prospectus for the offering may be
                  obtained from the Prospectus Department of Lehman Brothers.

                  The Company also intends to file in the next few days a shelf
                  registration statement on Form S-4 registering 1,000,000
                  shares of Class A common stock which may be issued by the
                  Company in connection with the acquisition of towers or
                  related businesses at various locations throughout the United
                  States.
