Ipswich mayor Paul Pisasale has poured cold water on hopes that a 30,000-seat stadium would be built in Ripley.

A weekend report in News Corp said there were "advance plans" for a training facility at Springfield, to be shared by potential NRL and A-League teams, and a major stadium at Ripley at a site that had been selected by the Queensland government.

Regardless, Cr Pisasale said a stadium within his city's limits should not be built.

He said any Ipswich-based NRL team should play its home matches at Suncorp Stadium, in the inner-Brisbane suburb of Milton.
