I or Me

Today, my teacher wrote this sentence "My brother and i were at the football stadium yesterday evening"

And after that i asked Can i write me instead of I? She said nope!

But I see its usage as "you and me" etc...

The subject of a sentence is I: I know him. You and I know him. The object of a verb is me: He knows me.

If ever you are in doubt leave out the other person.

You would not say "Me was at the stadium" It would have to be "I was..."

The links that you gave are for a film called "You and me" this is not even a complete sentence so it cannot be corrected grammatically.
