Narrative:

This is filed as a complaint against the new soccer field near sjc. Specifically the billboard is much too bright at night causing a blinding effect to pilots on taxi out and while at the hold short for takeoff. Please have it dimmed or turned off at night during field operations. Too much light interference during critical phase of flight.
