There are even multiple low-cost airlines (Avianca, Azul, GOL, TAM, Webjet) that provide enough competition to make flying inside the country oftentimes as cheap an option as taking the bus.

Brazil is a large country to see in just three months. If you find yourself wanting more time to enjoy this beautiful destination and its warm people then you will most likely find it easier to extend your tourist visa inside the country than to make a border run as you might in other locations (e.g., from Buenos Aires to Colonia in Uruguay).

I was fortunate to see a Boca-River game, in Mendoza (part of a special summer tournament). The Mendoza stadium is smaller than in Buenos Aires but it was still an electric environment and good experience. Especially fortunate since the next season River was relegated to second division.
