One report on costing, withheld from RNZ for five months, is inconclusive on the viability of a new downtown stadium.
The consultant's report, costing $930,000, says more detailed work is needed.
The council has blacked out possible locations and costs.
A seperate, updated stadium strategy, largely confirms the status quo for Auckland's major venues, apart from a possible new motorsport park.
Confidential negotiations continue over the council's guarantee for a $40 million loan held by Eden Park, and the strategy says further investment is possible.
