           SPECTRASITE COMPLETES $900 MILLION SENIOR CREDIT FACILITY

CARY, NC, NOVEMBER 22, 2004 - SpectraSite, Inc. (NYSE: SSI), one of the
largest wireless tower operators in the United States, announced today that
its operating subsidiary, SpectraSite Communications, Inc. ("Communications"),
has entered into a new $900 million senior secured credit facility with a
syndicate of lenders led by TD Securities (USA) LLC and Citigroup Global
Markets Inc. The new credit facility replaces Communications' previous
facility of approximately $638 million. The new credit facility is guaranteed
by SpectraSite and its present and future domestic restricted subsidiaries,
and is secured by a pledge of substantially all of Communications' assets. The
new facility consists of a $200 million senior secured revolving credit
facility, which matures in 2011, a $300 million senior secured delayed draw
term loan facility, which matures in 2011, and a $400 million senior secured
term loan facility, which matures in 2012. The new facility provides for
borrowings tied to base rate or LIBOR, as selected by Communications, and
includes a $400 million incremental facility that may be activated in whole or
in part at any time, subject to certain conditions and limitations.

Proceeds from borrowings of $450 million made at closing under the new
facility were used to repay Communications' previous senior secured credit
facility including all related fees and expenses. SpectraSite anticipates
using the facility for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions and
financing distributions to its stockholders.

Commenting on the closing of the Company's new senior credit facility, Stephen
H. Clark, President and CEO, stated, "This is truly a groundbreaking
transaction for SpectraSite. Among other things, the new facility provides us
with the ability to consistently return value to shareholders in the form of
stock buybacks and dividends while also providing us with the ability to
invest in prudent growth initiatives. In addition, the new facility will
generate interest savings of approximately $4.5 million per year, thereby
positively impacting our free cash flow on an annual basis. In summary, I am
extremely pleased with the quality of our lender group and I think our
internal team did a wonderful job of structuring a flexible transaction that
will help SpectraSite continue to generate significant returns for our
investors."
