(MCT) — Mayor Rahm Emanuel indicated Wednesday that he'd like the various parties involved in Wrigley Field renovation talks to reach a compromise but doesn't want to negotiate his end of the deal in public.

Making his first public comments since Cubs CEO Tom Ricketts unveiled a proposal last weekend that would see the team pay $300 million to fix up the stadium in return for the city loosening advertising restrictions and granting other concessions, Emanuel said Wrigley Field is too important for this dispute to drag on.
