In Foxborough, along U.S. Route 1, is Gillette Stadium, the home field for the New England Patriots (American) football team, which features the Hall at Patriot Place, where five Vince Lombardi trophies are displayed for people to view and take pictures.
The stadium is located about three miles south of the junction where I-95 and U.S. 1 meet in the Foxboro-Walpole area. It will be on the east side of the road (can't miss it).
The Hall at Patriot Place is located on the north side of the stadium, there are signs. It is above the Pro Shop. Admission at the time of visit (Nov. 2017) was $10 - 1$ off for AAA membership.
The Hall of Fame has many exhibits and a movie telling the story of the Patriots from the time they were the Boston Patriots in the American Football League to the New England Patriots of today. There are exhibits that include the Patriots team Hall of Fame, interactive displays, and individual and team awards. One of the first exhibits were memorabilia from various players. Some of these included the 2010 AP (Associated Press) Most Valuable Player Award, Player of the Year Brady and 2007 AP Most Valuable Player Award to Tom Brady and the AP Coach of the Year to Bill Bellichick; the Most Valuable Player Award (American Football League) 1966 to Jim Nance; and MVP awards to John Hannah.
However, the top trophies on display are the five Vince Lombardi trophies - the trophies awarded to the winner of the Superbowl Championship between the winner of the American Football Conference and the National Football Conference. The New England Patriots appeared in the Superbowl nine times and won five of them: XXXVI (2001), XXXVIII (2003), XXXVIX (2004), XXLIX (2014) and LI (2016). Winding through the museum, you first encounter an area that features highlights and memorabilia from each of the five championships. Then, you reach the room that has the five trophies where you can take pictures. Then there is a setup where you can sit and wear 3D goggles to get a player-view experience of a victory parade through Boston.

Visit Instructions:
Please take a photo of the award and describe your experience. If it is particularly large trophy or cup include a photo with yourself for scale.
Special note regarding schools: Public secondary schools are public places, and they often include public displays of trophies, medals and cups; however, security concerns might make it difficult to visit these locations at certain times. The best time to visit is probably during an athletic competition. The trophy case is very often adjacent to the gymnasium, and it would be very easy to photograph the trophies at such times. Alternately, you may visit during the school day. Respect school policy and sign in at the office as appropriate. You might explain that you heard that there was a national championship trophy on display somewhere in the school and you would like to photograph it. The secretary will likely direct you down the correct hallway, pleased as punch that people still care about that old championship.
