Item 5         Other Events

               SBA Communications Corporation ("SBA") announced a revision to
               its consent solicitation relating to its $269,000,000 in
               aggregate principal amount at maturity of 12% Senior Discount
               Notes due 2008 (the "Notes").

               SBA is soliciting consents to amend a portion of Section 4.09 of
               the indenture, pertaining to the incurrence of indebtedness. The
               proposed amendment, as currently revised, would permit the
               Company to borrow, subject to certain availability tests, up to
               $300 million of debt under senior credit facilities, up from the
               $175 million currently permitted under the indenture. Under its
               revised proposal, the Company is offering a cash consent payment
               of 3.0% of the accreted value of the Notes to all holders of
               record who consent to the proposed amendment on or prior to
               October 28, 1999.

               The consent solicitation is conditioned upon, among other things,
               the receipt of consents from holders of at least two-thirds of
               all outstanding Notes. The consent solicitation expires at 5:00
               P.M., New York time, on October 28, 1999, unless extended. The
               record date remains the close of business on October 7, 1999.

               Lehman Brothers Inc. is serving as Solicitation Agent in
               connection with the consent solicitation. D. F. King & Co., Inc.
               is serving as Information Agent.
