Item 2    Other Events

          SBA Communications Corporation announced it had received the requisite
          consent from the holders of its 12% senior discount notes to increase
          certain categories of permitted indebtedness from $175 million to $300
          million. SBA also announced that it had received firm commitments from
          certain lenders within the syndicate comprising its existing $175
          million senior credit facility to amend and expand such facility to
          $300 million. The $125 million increase will be made available in the
          form of a $50 million term loan and a $75 million increase to the
          company's existing $150 million revolving line of credit. The other
          terms, conditions, covenants, interest rates and availability
          requirements of the increase are expected to be materially the same as
          those of the existing senior credit facility. Closing of the amendment
          and expansion of the existing senior credit facility is subject to
          documentation and other customary closing conditions and is expected
          to occur in December 1999.

          SBA will host a conference call Friday, November 12 at 10:00 a.m.
          Eastern Time to discuss its financial results for the quarter ended
          September 30, 1999. The conference call number is (800) 230-1092.
