Question

Is this sentence ok? Or what would you say?
The field is not suitable for playing football.    (due to heavy reain etc.)

Answer

The sentence is grammatically correct. However, to me, "The field is not suitable for playing football."  Implies that it is permanently, by it's nature, unsuitable for playing football (because of it's being triangular or having a hedge on it for instance).

If I wanted to express the idea of its being temporarily unfit for playing football, i'd use the word "fit".
    
The field is (presently) unfit for playing football (due to heavy rain).

Answer

It is grammatically correct, and is how I would state the sentence.
